Tiffany stood outside of Cassis. She looked out toward the 'outside' world and considered the fact that Laodice could be out there. She frowned wondering if she should go look for him. She shook her head. "No.. " She muttered angrily. "He did not care enough to take me with him..Or to tell me where he would be going.." She whispered, so hurt it was actually physically painful. A lump grew in her throat, threatening to cut off her air supply. She lowered her head and stared at the ground. It was so not fair. She had let herself be happy..just once! She had given love another chance. She let the scowl settle on her face. "So..alone..again.." She ground out through gritted teeth.
"Yes...alone.." A male's voice seemed to echo in the silence.
Tiffany's head whipped around at the sound. Her face clearly showed her confusion. "Who are you?" She asked, quickly dashing the tears from her cheeks. She stood up straight and faced the stranger. The man was muscular. Grotesquely so. His neck was so thick it just simply connected with his chest, it had no definition. His arms were so built that he couldnt cross them properly. He had a weird smile on his face, and had thin lips that made Tiffany cringe. His smile was a grimace that was trying to imitate happiness. She felt the hairs on the back of her neck rise, knowing that something was terribly wrong with this situation. She heard a crackling of gravel behind her, crunching under someone's footsteps. She turned halfway, so that she could see them both at the same time. They were both dressed the same way, with black shirts tucked into black jeans. Black boots and a black leather belt adorned both outfits to complete the classic robber look.
The man behind her was the complete opposite of his..accomplice. He was thinner, but lean and muscular in the natural way. It didnt look like he had been pumped with steriods and locked into a gym. He held an easy smile on his face. His movements were graceful and serene as he strode up beside her. Unsurprisingly this was the one she was most watchful of. He had speed and agility, it was written all over his face. She narrowed her eyes and placed her hands out of sight, ready to attack if she needed to. By the look of them she would. The bigger man charged her, screaming. She quickly dodged it, knowing his weight would pull him to finish his charge, and be away from her.
She was at a disadvantage. There was no major source of water near her, nor a cloud in sight. She pulled what she could from the air and sent it forcefully toward him, with about the velocity of that coming from a fire hose. He staggered but smiled at the attempt. The other man, in her distraction, slipped behind her and grabbed her arms, holding them behind her back as the other approached. He took the slender man's place and gripped her arms so hard they were instantly bruised.
"Now now..No need to harm her.." He paused. "Yet." He stood in front of her, measuring her worth. His scrutiny made her squirm in discomfort. He put a single finger under her chin, making her lift her gaze to him. She froze, unsure what he was doing. "Yes..You will be good..as soon as you learn your true potential.." He muttered looking her up and down. He nodded to his partner. "Now." He stated as he turned around. The man used his elbow to hit her, knocking her unconsious. He drug her with him and threw her in the car they had come in.
He played with her hair as they drove away. "Pretty..." He said quietly. "Useful. But just the first..of many."
"Yes...alone.." A male's voice seemed to echo in the silence.
